Nevermind the fact that he’s got a point the last 16 times he’s hit the ice. He definitely hasn’t earned this cup

He's played less than three minutes in the past seven months. Don't get me wrong, I like him a lot as a player and have been pulling for Tampa in the series. I'll be happy for him if he raises the Cup, but it doesn't carry the same meaning to me as if he had been there every step of the way. And doubtless he would've preferred it that way too.

If he meets the requirements and his team wins then he deserves the Cup.
The rule intent is something far different...

Not sure who that Stamkos guy is but he seemed pretty good for a 4th line plug. Where does Tampa keep finding these guys?

Actual footage of Lightning players trying out for the Olympic dive team:
I feel really bad for Dobby as his team is not doing him any favors. Here is to hoping Dallas comes out next game with a fighting mentality.
I'm a neutral fan in these finals. Are you actually making the claim that the Lightning players are diving? Wow.

Are you actually claiming they aren't? Wow. Coleman last night is just the most recent example.
edit: Had wrong name.

You can cry about whatever you want to bud. Go ham.
Seems like dallas blew their load in the first period.
Tampas needs to get dallas skating, they've got a lot of older players that just can't keep up. Once their legs are done then we get games like game 3.

Neutral fan.
Loving, playing and watching hockey for over 50 years.
Seems pretty even to me in terms of the physical play and "diving". LOL. Now cue the personal attack.

I don't need to attack anyone, everyone is allowed their opinion, even when they're wrong.
He just learned that trick from watching Benn do the same exact thing the game before.

Refs are 100% handing it to Tampa on calls that would not have been called in the last couple Cups. Let them play and quit trying to implement soft hockey in the finals!!

Refs are garbage in this series, but Dallas is 100% handing it to Tampa.
Really, the calls were okay, but soft. The Radulov call with 22 seconds in the first did turn the tide, though. Stars were playing well, just needed to get to the locker room with no more damage, but TB got a PP on clean ice and took advantage. Like needing a goalie making "that save" the refs made "that call" and it worked out to screw the Stars.
Of course, part of fans anger is that the Stars really needed those calls or non calls, to get back in the game, and refs not responsible for that.

Impossible to have success when refs change the game on you in the finals. Total master of puppets.

Death and no taxes
The powerplays are even in the series. Maybe blame guys like Seguin? Tampa's best players are showing up so far. Dallas' aren't.
